Put a link the rounding screen to return home, just in case the one at the top left isn't obvious enough. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2155] 2010-05-17 09:54:19 +08:00			`O(n*log(n)) assembly of edges into contours`
Add a color picker, with a fancy HSV (actually, a modified version of that, where you can pick the hue and blackness, and then the whiteness) color picker and some swatches. This is used in three places now: the special colors in the config screen, the background color, and the style colors.

Indicate diameter symbol on diameter dimensions, instead of just a bare number. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2157] 2010-05-23 14:21:42 +08:00			`crude DXF, HPGL import`

The box when additional things get deleted (because they depend on whatever just got deleted explicitly) should be a message, not an error. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2162] 2010-06-14 12:42:47 +08:00			`make export assemble only contours in same group`
Update selection of extrusion/lathe solid model color to use new color picker. And apply same rule to rewrite nearly-white colors (when exporting with a file format typically viewed on a white background) for fill color as for stroke color.

Improve convergence of constraints involving parallel vectors, by using the initial numerical guess of whichever vector is already known to choose our projection planes. And add a mechanism to defer showing the text window or regenerating, in order to simplify dependencies on valid actives. Also yes/no/cancel when about to abandon an unsaved file, and a bugfix when rotating a rot/trans point. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1772] 2008-06-04 02:28:41 +08:00
Add a special constraint type for comments; no equations, just user-visible text. And make points hoverable/selectable even when GW.showPoints is false, and zoom to fit before regenerating on file open, because then we're at the right zoom level (and will use the right pwl tolerance).

Fix bug where on-screen display of view parameters wasn't updated after View -> Nearest Ortho/Iso. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2119] 2010-03-01 02:55:49 +08:00			`rounding, as a special group`

Oops, it was possible to edit the dimension for any constraint, not just those that actually have associated dimensions. Amazing how long that bug's been sitting there. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2099] 2010-01-08 17:40:47 +08:00			`better level of detail`
Increment the version number, and add a context menu item to snap what's hovered to the grid. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2042] 2009-09-30 16:54:01 +08:00			`some kind of import`
Add a context menu, with a grab bag of options. That will need some refinement later, but it does not affect file formats so it's not very critical. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2032] 2009-09-23 18:59:59 +08:00			`faster triangulation`
Add code to subdivide (with de Castljau's algorithm) a surface, and use that for surface-line intersections. That has major problems with the heuristic on when to stop and do Newton polishing. There's also an issue with all the Newton stuff when surfaces join tangent. And update the wishlist to reflect current needs. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1925] 2009-03-08 18:59:57 +08:00			`loop detection`
Show a progress message when regenerating is slow. And update the version number to 1.4, don't include force-hidden entities when building the loops, and don't show force-hidden entities when that entity gets copied. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1983] 2009-06-14 12:36:38 +08:00			`IGES export`

Add routines to remove T intersections from the mesh, which are introduced by the bsp routines. It's usually, though not always, possible to generate a watertight mesh. The occasions where it's not look ugly, floating point issues, no quick fix. And use those to generate a list of edges where two different faces meet, which I can emphasize for cosmetic reasons (and some UI to specify whether to do that, and with what color). And make the right mouse button rotate the model, since that was previously doing nothing. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1821] 2008-07-06 15:56:24 +08:00
